Set in post-war rural Australia, Snake by Kate Jennings is a taut, poetic novel that explores the unraveling of a mismatched marriage. Irene, restless and ambitious, finds herself trapped in a life of domesticity with Rex, her quiet and devoted husband. As the years pass, their relationship deteriorates into bitterness and betrayal, mirrored by the harsh landscape around them. Jenningss spare prose and sharp imagery evoke a haunting portrait of emotional isolation and the quiet tragedies of ordinary lives.
